    This spacious Japanese restaurant has a warm, comfortable atmosphere that makes it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Their lunch specials are an excellent value, served in beautifully arranged bento boxes with a generous variety of fresh, flavorful dishes. The portions are surprisingly large, so you'll definitely leave satisfied. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared, and the quality really stood out. The service was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and efficient from start to finish. If you're looking for a comfortable spot with delicious Japanese lunch specials and excellent hospitality, this is definitely worth a visit!

    Service was not great...a staff member named Ellis accidentally put down a plate of edamame, and our party mistakenly thought it was complimentary. Halfway through the waiter came back and rudely announced that the dish wasn't for us, even though it was their fault that it was on our table in the first place. They then took it away, acting as if WE were in the wrong, and ruined the overall experience. Like...it's a plate of edamame...that reaction was so uncalled for. I'm not expecting everyone to go above and beyond, but general decency and politeness shouldn't be too much to expect. Unfortunately, won't be back.

    Salmon Sushi

    You'd think this place would improve because it's a franchise. But this specific Rancho location hasn't (food wise). Or maybe I'm ordering the wrong thing. I always go here for happy hour. The tempura isn't crispy when I get it. And I've noticed a change in the fish to rice ratio whenever I order sushi. Their salmon sushi is my go to order when I come here for happy hour but lately it seems the is more rice with very thinly cut fish. See picture. I hope they improve on this!

    Lemon water tastes great! oh and the sushi too. (; Fast service and nice comfy chairs. Would come again!

    Lotus on Fire Roll
    Mallory J.

    Came here for a solo lunch. I ordered the spicy tuna on crispy rice, BBQ short beef ribs, lotus on fire speciality roll, and a lychee lemonade. Everyone was so fresh and tasted amazing. I wasn't expecting much from this place but was pleasantly surprised. The service was great to. Atmosphere was calm and I enjoyed my lunch.

    Visited this place twice. Great sushi. The fish was fresh and delicious. Appetizers & drinks were great. The spicy miso ramen was horrid though, the broth was lukewarm and flavorless. Our server was super friendly and attentive.

    Sunkissed Roll, Shrimp Tempura, Vegas Roll 10/10
    Azalie M.

    Food 5/5 I usually come during happy hour, and I'm always impressed with the quality and taste of the food, especially for the price. This time, we ordered the Vegas Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll, and the Sunkissed Roll, and everything was fresh and flavorful. We also got the green tea ice cream for dessert, and I was extremely pleased!! Customer Service 5/5 I come here often and have never had any complaints about the customer service. The staff is consistently friendly and attentive, which I really appreciate, especially since I tend to make extra requests like spicy mayo, lemon, and other sides. Ambience 4/5 The ambience is comfortable, and I really like that they offer booth seating and good lighting. There's also a bar area, which adds a nice touch. It strikes a good balance, not too fancy, but also a step up from causal. Cleanliness 4/5 The staff keeps the place tidy and is quick to clear plates. Wait Time 4/5 I've noticed the wait time can vary depending on the day--most of the time, it's not too bad. On this particular visit, the wait was a bit longer, but still nothing unreasonable. Cost 5/5 During happy hour, the prices are incredibly affordable! Sushi rolls typically range from $9 to $11, and there's a great variety to choose from, including appetizers and drinks. Some drinks are as low as $2, which is a fantastic deal. I'm always extremely satisfied with their pricing. I believe they do charge for some of the sides, just something to keep in mind. Drinks 5/5 During happy hour, I love ordering the hot sake or a Sapporo mug, both are so good!

    Avocado Roll
    Joseph D.

    I love this local spot. Always come for their amazing happy hour (weekdays starting at 3pm). If you're lucky enough to get bar seating, Juan and Eden are the best bartenders. The happy hour is to die for, $2 small sakes and half off rolls. 10/10 would recommend and would definitely come back. It's a local favorite. I recommend the avocado roll, the kimchi roll, and the salmon nigiri.

    Surplus napkins
    Janelle O.

    Bar review: What an EPIC little bar they have here . I was waiting for our party to be seated and Juan lovingly sat me down at the end of the bar and made me one of the best lemon drops I've had in awhile . At a sushi bar of all places . Absolutely delightful . Please make your way to the bar at Kabuki ASAP for a fun lighthearted time ..... with surplus napkins ( iykyk)

    Sweet Potato Fries
    Becca M.

    So this is an interesting review, my table ordered a lot of different dishes: sushi, noodles, small plates, appetizers, and desserts. Everything was honestly so good so I can't give less than 5 stars, BUT the only thing that really bothered us was the portion size of the sweet potato fries appetizer. This was almost $10 and there was barely any fries on the plate. I don't know if it was just a plating error or if that's the normal portion. As delicious as they were, I wouldn't spend the money on that particular dish again. Everything else was great though.

    We came on weekday without reservations and got seated immediately. The waitress was very attentive and helpful with my little baby. The food came fast , delicious and good portions. We had such a great time this night. We will definitely come back for more.

The portions here are VERY GENEROUS. It had plenty of tasty meat and lots of noodles (cooked a bit al-dente for my taste, but it's different for everyone). I think my boyfriend and I could've honestly shared one bowl and be satisfied. It was not a bad price either for a huge bowl. I might be biased since I love huge portions for an affordable price, but I thought it was a delicious bowl. The appetizers were solid, I would've liked a bit more portion as the egg rolls and shrimp rolls were a skinny. If I lived closer I would probably frequent this place a lot more, but this will probably be the place I go to when I fly out of ONT. Way better than other spots that I've tried in the IE so far.

Just the right amount of salt and garlic, and what a crunch. The hot and sour soup, authentic and better than Chinatown. It's salty, spicy, vinegary, bamboo shoots was crushy too. The roasted duck was spectacular, crunchy skin and flavorful meat. Perfect seasoning. The orange chicken is a must. Crunchy and so so tasty. Every chicken pieces were crunchy and no bad pieces in this batch. This is not your panda Express orange chicken or Panda Inn, this is your Mr Chows Beverly hills orange chicken.
